History
In June 2017, Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports and Entertainment Ed Nordholm told The Tennessean that the company once known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) had rebranded. As part of expanding the brand, Nordholm said he had been planning an on demand service that would tap into TNA's video library. The Tennessean noted that the library was valuable as TNA had previously signed many legendary wrestlers and several wrestlers who appeared in TNA later signed with WWE.
The launch of Global Wrestling Network was hinted on Impact!, until an announcement on the August 31, 2017 episode revealed a planned release in September. Nordholm appeared on Wrestling Observer Radio on September 9 and stated that the goal of the network was to be an alternative brand to the WWE Network. Nordholm said he would like Pro Wrestling Noah, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and other partners to join the network. The network temporarily went live on September 12, 2017 while the infrastructure was being tweaked, but was taken down by the next day.
Global Wrestling Network officially launched on October 10, 2017. A 30 day free trial period was offered at launch. Over 1,000 hours of content from the Impact Wrestling libraries are available to subscribers but the network also includes tape libraries from the Fight Network, Border City Wrestling, Wrestling at the Chase and other sources.
